I think that's the problem also. After doing that, curl returns 404 Not Found aswell. I then changed root from html to something else just to test it was using a different configuration file. I changed it on both: /usr/local/nginx-1.4.3/conf/nginx.conf /usr/local/nginx/conf-1.4.3/nginx.conf.default but localhost still returns the main nginx welcome index page and not the index.html in my test root dir that was in /var/www/testing I ran the linux command "locate" and here's its output.. :~$ locate nginx.conf /home/matthew/src/nginx-1.4.3/conf/nginx.conf /usr/local/nginx-1.4.3/conf/.nginx.conf.swp /usr/local/nginx-1.4.3/conf/nginx.conf /usr/local/nginx-1.4.3/conf/nginx.conf.default /usr/local/nginx-1.4.3/conf/nginx.conf~ I wasn't aware of the 1st result returned so i also edited this conf file. But still no luck. I have no idea where to look for the file or how to pick a default one for nginx to always use:( _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
